In latter days shall rise
On mountain-tops above the hills,
And draw the wondering eyes.
2 To this the joyful nations round,
All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
Up to the hill of God, they'll say
And to His house we'll go.
3 The team that shines from Zion's hill
Shall lighten every land;
The King who reigns in Salem's towers
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations He shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His scepter shall protect the just
And quell the sinner's pride.
5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
Disturb those peaceful years;
To ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning-hooks their spears.
6 No longer hosts, encountering hosts,
Shall crowds of slain deplore;
They'll hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.
7 Come, then, O house of Jacob! come
To worship at His shrine,
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine. Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS
